carb. and manifold which work great and stock Autolite units are available for
the purest. Correct harmonic balancer, exhuast manifolds. Pertronix is installed
in distributor but original dual point unit comes with car. Since photos were

get a lot of original paper work with the purchase. This is a car well worth the
trip to come see it. Since photos Shipping and financing available.
